16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
16:2 O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness
extends not to you;
16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god:
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names
into my lips.
16:5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you
maintain my lot.
16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
16:7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also
instruct me in the night seasons.
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also
shall rest in hope.
16:10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer
your Holy One to see corruption.
16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness
of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
